Rita Ora struggled with new music after Roc Nation split

Rita Ora poured all the emotions she felt following her split from JAY-Z's Roc Nation label into the songs on her new album. The British star admits she struggled to release new music after her 2012 debut, Ora, dropped because her battle to get free of her contract rattled her enthusiasm for songwriting. Instead, she turned to acting and landed a role in the Fifty Shades of Grey film franchise, and became a TV favourite in the U.K. and America on shows like The Voice UK and America's Next Top Model, where she took over hosting duties from Tyra Banks. But now she's back with a new Fifty Shades duet recorded with One Direction star Liam Payne and an upcoming album, filled with uplifting dance music tracks and love songs. "I had a bit of an issue, publicly, with putting out music which got me really, really, kind of devastated, and I was really down, and then I was really angry, and then I was really frustrated, and then I was really happy that it was happening," she tells Billboard. "It was all these emotions, so my album is definitely a rollercoaster of emotions I'm still crazy, like, I still love to go out and party. Everyone who knows me knows that I love to have a good time, but I wanted this album to also be (something) you could put on and vibe with your friends. There's a lot of ups and downs, but I'm very, very proud of it.
